Journalist Kidnapped on His Way to Media Fellowship in Kwara
It began like any other road trip — a journalist on a journey of ambition, heading to Kwara for a media fellowship. But somewhere along the way, that ordinary trip turned into a chilling mystery.
Salis Manaja, a multimedia journalist, was abducted while traveling from Abakaliki to Ilorin. His disappearance was noticed on Saturday, October 11, 2025, when his colleagues suddenly lost contact and calls to his phone went unanswered.
In a disturbing twist, the kidnappers reportedly reached out, demanding ransom for his freedom. The specific point where the abduction occurred remains uncertain, leaving friends and associates in distress as they await more information.
Authorities are yet to disclose further details, but concerns continue to mount over safety on the nation’s highways. For many, Manaja’s case serves as a grim reminder of the risks journalists face while pursuing their work and passion across the country.
